A/N: Here's the next chapter like I promised! Hope all of my reviewers enjoy it! (And all the other people who read it)
Chapter 2
Stark's POV
I had been crying my eyes out for hours. Aphrodite and the twins had tried to get me to go back to the room, but I refused to let Zoey lay out here by herself . . . even if her soul was gone. I decided I was going to go get some food and wash up, then come back as fast as I could. I wouldn't risk having anyone take away Zoey's body or harm it in any way. I considered bringing her to the infirmary (Is that the right word they used in the book . . . ?), but thought I would look very suspicious if I was seen carrying a limp body over my shoulder. I decided on my original plan. I stood up and started to walk away, but as soon as I was about three feet away from where Zoey's empty shell lay, I heard a faint intake of breath. I knew that Zoey's soul had returned to her body. I stood in the same spot examining her body, and realized that her marks were back! I jogged to Zoey, who was now sitting up, "Zo!" Her attention was focused on me. "S-stark" she replied in a scratchy tone. She tried to stand up to get to me, but failed and fell back on her side. I automatically felt the sharp pain she was feeling in her side and ran to pick her up to bring her to the infirmary. "No, put me down" she sounded angry, but I refused to let her walk herself. I determined that the others would want to know about Zoey's miracle recovery. She struggled for me to have me release her, but in the end gave up and willingly let me carry her to see someone about her injured hip bone.
After I set Zoey down on a hospital-like bed, I whispered in her ear, "Now don't move until I get back. And Zoey . . . " "Hmm. ?" she mumbled, half asleep. "I love you." I said no longer in a whisper. "Love you too Stark" I grinned my cocky smile at her- the one she loves so much- and ran off to tell the others the big news.
Zoey's POV
"I love you" stark said meaningfully. I was shocked beyond belief! I managed to mumble " Love you too stark" before he ran like a school boy who had just heard they were giving out free candy in class. I couldn't believe how much my life has changed in the past . . . IT'S BEEN 10 HOURS SINCE I . . . DIED! Oh My Goddess! I felt sleep finally come over me as I drifted off into a pleasant dream about life before Kalona.
Stark's POV
I burst through the door of The Twin's room without knocking and screeched, "GUYS ZOEY'S SOUL IS BACK IN HER BODY!" They all seemed un- surprised by this life changing news, and that's when I spotted Aphrodite in the corner with Darius by her side. Her eyes were completely blood shot, and she had a folded white damp towel on her forehead. "Another vision?" I asked quietly. "Yes, it seems Kalona has returned to find out if Zoey was still . . . well . . . dead I supposed is the right word for it, and saw her waking up. He's gone to find Nefret." My response was utter shock. I couldn't believe what I was hearing! Kalona was back, and Zoey is still weak! She would never be able to defeat him in this condition! "WHAT?!" I yelled. "Yes this is what she saw." I had to tell Zoey, and I had to tell her now. But would she be able to deal with the stress of dealing with Kalona right after he had just murdered Heath? There was only one way to find out.
Zoey's POV
I automatically felt terror in Stark's thoughts...but what was it her was terrified of? I prayed to my goddess that he wasn't face-to-face with kalona, or something deadly!
A/N: Sorry it's a short one again! I might be able to write another one for tonight, but if I can't finish I'll be sure to get it done early tomorrow so y'all will have it ASAP! Still looking for reviews. Starting with chapter 4, I will not update until I have 4 new reviews. So get to it! Thank you to the two reviewers so far!
